Your tax dollars at war - Cont'd

War is many things. Cheap it ain't. First day cost of Operation Odyssey Dawn in Libya: Over $100 million. That was just the warm-up act. According to the National Journal, "U.S.-led forces launched 112 long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, which cost about $1 million to $1.5 million apiece, from ships stationed off the Libyan coast. That totaled $112 million to $168 million. Meanwhile, it generally costs $10,000 per hour, including maintenance and fuel, to operate F-15s and F-16s. Those costs do not include the payloads dropped from the aircraft. The B-2s dropped 45 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, or JDAMS, which are 2,000-pound bombs that cost between $30,000 and $40,000 apiece to replace." And the bar tab is still open. Pray for a short conflict.
